Thanks for the help, I had it in advanced mode and it worked, I put the recommended games and calendar for now, but sure advanced mode seems promising, I will hopefully fiddle with it when I have more time, not possible currently sadly, hehe. Try to bribe someone with candy to do it, hehe.

Hi,

Fitst of all I love how much your extension improves the site! I've noticed a bugs i think, im wondering if you could help? I'm using Windows in case it matters. Chrome is up to date (Version 151.0.7922.76) and I've re-installed the extension.

I noticed I can't click on the extension button (top right hand corner on BGA site) when I'm in the Chrome webapp. If I'm in a normal browser tab, it works fine. I did a screen recording of it (basically it shows nothing happening when I click the button, not much use lol). In site settings, everything is enabled (literally every permission)

Do you have any ideas?

Also, a visual bug: when footnote is disabled, it just shows a big white space

On the win7 pc the advanced mode empties everything and the only way to see those chests in a visible size is to make the news feeds Large, it's not a big deal at all but I felt obliged to let you know, why keep it to myself eh?

Feature suggestion:

The forums are loaded in an iframe, and the iframe URL has a parameter listing the "known games" for that user so they see only those games. Could the plugin alter that list of games so we could control which games we see and not see some game we played just once five years ago? It would require mapping the forum IDs to the BGA IDs/game names, as they are not the same, but aside from that (probably tedious) task, it doesn't seem hard to do (if it's possible, if the plugin can alter that URL).

The bad news is that the CSS selector :has(), which is used by the extension, is only available from Firefox version 121 onwards, and you are using version 115. That explains what you're seeing.

The good news is that you can manually enable this selector yourself:

- Type about:config in your Firefox address bar and press Enter.
- Search for layout.css.has-selector.enabled.
- Double-click it to change its value to true.
- Refresh the page.

I've never figured out how to match up the games on the website with those on the forum.
But I just had an idea—maybe I can add a button in the forum, in each game's section, to hide the game.
I'll look into it when I have some time!

Sorry, I didn't see your message!
This isn't the first time I've heard about issues with the app, but unfortunately there's nothing I can do to fix them :(

I didn't quite understand the problem with the footnote—what exactly are you disabling to get that display?

Thanks anyway for your feedback :)

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since the last cool feature, so here’s a new one: you can now hide specific folders in the forum!

This feature was added in version 1.14.14 (which was just published and should be available very soon). You can access it via the new checkbox displayed at the top of the forum, right next to the search bar.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

So far it works great, thanks!
